Welcome to Semi-finals Division 2 of Battle of the Prog Bands!  This time, our two contenders are Pink Floyd and Rush.  Vote for your favorite, and the band with the most votes will move onto the Finals.  Please do not vote unless you have listened to at least one album by both bands.

Here is the tournament thus far:

Schedule for Upcoming Matches
Finals - November 18
Results - November 26

Pink Floyd.  Revisiting some of their earlier albums makes me remember why I loved this band and genre so much in the first place.

Really don't mind if you sit this one out.

Mr. Waters and Company without any doubt, I don't think Rush will stand a chance

PF are probably my all-time favourite band, and although Rush is a great band this is no contest for me.

Rush was great band in late 70-s, but far not in a PF league

i really like pink floyd, and altough they are a bit overrated, i find them amazingevery time i listen to their music.

nevertheless, i find Rush quite superior, and beautiful. that is my opinion, and thus, my vote goes for rush.

Tough. Two really great bands.

I just prefer Floyd on balance, but both are miles ahead of Crimson and both are vastly more popular outside this forum.

PF - coz that's also an acronym for Prog Folk... or because I seriously prefer them over Rush.

RUSH destroys PF in my book.  Pretty much everything I like about Pink Floyd's music I can find done better in another band's repertoire.  Pink Floyd just don't have much dynamic range.  They did come up with some fantastic stuff, but they're just too one-sided to be cited as a favorite of mine.  RUSH, on the other hand, has brought me bundles of joy over the years, and continue to do so, thanks to the band members actually not hating each other and all.
